Legal Marketing: Five Things to Know about Content

File under: legal marketing strategy.

Here are five recent articles/blog posts that cover, each in their own way, the essential topic of "Content" - especially as it pertains to executing an online marketing plan.

As always, annotations are intentionally brief; you'd be best served reading each piece in its entirety:

  1. Google's Sam Sebastian on B-to-B Content Strategy - "... 'build mountains of content' and distribute to customers and prospects in a targeted manner." (Junta42)
  2. Legal Marketing Strategy: It's All About Keywords and Tails - "[Find] what makes your attorney's office or law firm unique and brainstorm a list of those services and characteristics." (The Rainmaker Blog)
  3. Ware are You? Web Content Delivery Strategies -  "...I was surprised when a web search didn’t turn up a set of categories for classifying web content delivery strategies. This article proposes a set of buckets and draws a few conclusions about content delivery..." (The Content Wrangler)
  4. How Content Marketing Will Shake The Tree - "Why spend time, money, and creative effort making fake, glossy, slick pieces of marketing material when something honest and informative ... would likely do a better job?" (Chris Brogan)
  5. Sharing Good Content Trumps Pushing Slick Marketing - "good content drives traffic, builds credibility with readers, establishes expertise and - ultimately - results in more sales, more members, more donors, more volunteers, more 'whatevers.'” (verve: in bloom)

You've heard us say this before: lawyers, law firms, legal professionals are prolific generators of quality content. You do it every day during your course of practice. The legal profession is perfectly suited for developing an online strategy that involves content marketing.

If you are creating case filings, alerts, articles, newsletters, and other legal documents - you should be sharing the work online. Jump onto JD Supra and start content marketing now.

Jones Day v. BlockShopper LLC; Jewel v. NSA, and more Hot Doc from EFF

This just in from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) - the amicus brief in support of defendant BlockShopper.com's motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Jones Day against the real estate news site. Jones Day has alleged that BlockShopper's use of the trademark "Jones Day" to refer to the firm in a headline and linking to the Jones Day website could lead to confusion over the sponsorship of the site.

The brief, filed by EFF and Public Citizen, joined by Public Knowledge and Citizen Media Law Project, urges the federal judge in Chicago to dismiss Jones Day's claims, on the ground that they are  aimed at quashing speech by an online news site.

According to the Amici:

If Jones Day’s trademark theory were correct, no news site or blog could use marks to identify markholders, or links to point to further information about the markholders, without risking a lawsuit.

Other hot docs in from EFF:

Federal, D.C. Circuit, D.C. Electronic Frontier Foundation and Public Knowledge v. Office of the United States Trade Representative  - Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief

EFF and Public Knowledge filed suit on September 17, 2008 against the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), demanding information about a secret intellectual property enforcement treaty that the government has put on a fast track to completion. more...

Federal, 9th Circuit, California Jewel, et al., v. National Security Agency, et al.-  Complaint for Constitutional and Statutory Violations, Seeking Damages, Declaratory, and Injunctive Relief

In Jewel v. NSA, EFF is suing the National Security Agency (NSA) and other government agencies on behalf of AT&T customers alleging illegal, unconstitutional, and ongoing dragnet surveillance of their communications and communications records. more...

What type of legal documents should I upload to JD Supra?

Lawyers frequently ask us this question. Our answer: share any legal documents that help to demonstrate your experience and expertise.

JD Supra hosts filings and decisions in cases of national significance (as well as legal alerts and articles created by attorneys at some of the most prestigious firms), but neither situation is a requirement for a legal professional interested in participating on the site.

Our collection of legal documents is as varied as the group of professionals contributing to it.

Here are diverse examples of quality written work shared on JD Supra that have generated lots of views (and, as a consequence, exposure) for their contributors:

[One document listed here has received more views than any other on JD Supra - including the petition to cancel Facebook's Trademark. Can you guess which it is? Answer below*.]

Our analytics show that the more you publish, the more traffic your profile will receive - and yet, when it comes to marketing and business development, it only takes one good connection between your work and a researcher to reap the benefits of sharing on JD Supra.

(Example: while many people have found Doug Cornelius's form FIRPTA Affidavit, above, it was the fact that the right person saw his less-trafficked article: LinkedIn to My Facebook on My Blog - Social Media for Lawyers and Law Firm Staff, that made the difference.)

So, cast a wide net. Share a diverse range of work that shows what you do, what you know.

What to upload? Articles, forms, filings, decisions, newsletters, alerts - the choice is yours.

Lawyers (and Legal Professionals) to Follow Online: An Update

As a legal professional, in what ways do you participate online?

This is my follow-up question to the list I published earlier this week: lawyers and legal professionals to follow on Twitter. Please share your answer below - post a comment.

As a community, we have much to learn from each other (the original point of my list!). Let's start with a look at how you are experimenting (and succeeding) online. Key word: experiment.

Twitter and Beyond: How Do You Connect the Dots?

I'm thrilled to see the blogosphere buzz around the Twitter list (including Carolyn Elefant's Twitter: A Downpour of Information But the Sun Always Shines, among many others).

My feelings about Twitter are probably clear to you. Here's what one of my favorite attorney Twitterers, @nikiblack, says in a comment at Kevin O'Keefe's LexBlog:

...it's an invaluable tool-for professional networking, for a sense of community, for getting a true sense of "virtual" colleagues' personalities, for personal branding and for personal expression.

Agreed. And at the intersection of the professional and the personal, Twitter not only allows you to influence, it also allows you to be influenced. This is one of its greatest strengths, I believe.

(I also agree wholeheartedly with @samglover, @stevematthews, @christinemartin and others who, in different ways, have pointed out that only following lawyers is probably a bad idea. Only blasting out marketing messages is also a bad idea. And only tweeting about the extraordinarily mundane details - not so good either. Mix it up.)

Many of the personalities represented in my list of lawyers who Twitter also actively participate in the open landscape. They are on LinkedIn and Facebook. Some of them podcast and conduct webinars. Some blog. Some share bookmarks and reading lists in a variety of excellent venues. More and more publish their legal documents on JD Supra.

(I'd be remiss if I didn't say this: if you are looking for attention online, post your legal documents to JD Supra.)

The trick: connect the dots. The open landscape is not a vacuum. Your role models should be those people who know how to use these tools in tandem with each other.

Participating online is not solely a marketing exercise, but it does borrow from many of the things that lead to good marketing: conversation, collaboration, networking, distribution, the influence of community. Always, it is varied mix of all of these, and more...

So. How are you connecting the dots online? Tell us.

J.K. Rowling v. RDR Books (JD Supra Hot Doc)

JD Supra contributor Brian Rowe has posted a new HOT DOC: the recent decision in J.K. Rowling v. RDR Books!

Here's Brian's summary of the decision:

The Harry Potter Lexicon was found infringing on Rowling's copyright and fair use was denied as a defense.

The Court engaged in a full four factor balancing test from section 107 of the copyright act. The court relies heavily on the harm to a potential market for Rowling own compendium and the Lexicon taking too much from Rowling works. This case criticizes paraphrasing and quoting in a commercial work that does not criticize the original and may set troubling precedence for futuretransformative works.

The fact that Rowling claims to want to publish her own competing companion book to the lexicon and donate the proceeds to charity receives mention from the court.

The court claims that “publication of the Lexicon would also result in harm to the charitable organization … More concretely, publication of the Lexicon would cause irreparable harm to the sales of Rowling’s companion books, all the elements of which are replicated in the Lexicon for a similar purpose. Readers would have no reason to purchase the companion books since the lexicon supersedes their value” (page 64)

Generally the case claims reference guides and companion books about literary works are a critically important part of literature, and that the right to publish them are generally unchallenged. As a general matter authors do not have the right to stop publication of reference guides and companion books about literary works.

This 68 page opinion is well worth reading. Fair use in the case of commercial works is a hotly disputed area of contention, this case is the latest in an ongoing battle to forge legal business models and add competition through transformative works.

Five Things Legal Professionals Should Know About Online Search

File under: Friday fodder. For your reading pleasure, here are links to five recent articles and/or blog posts - each one, in some fashion, to do with Search. All worth a read as you develop and fine tune your online strategy.

Teaser descriptions are intentionally brief. The point being: read them all.

  • Web 2.0 Still a No-go - article in the September issue of ABA Journal to do with online adoption by legal professionals. ("Just the beginning.") Of note: "practically everyone" conducts legal research online. (2008 number: 96%. Five years ago: 79%.)
  • SEO for Law Firms: Why Adwords is Not the Solution - in an informed, well-reasoned position piece, Stem Legal's Steve Matthews asks: "Are you building assets or just renting space?" (Among other excellent questions to do with using Adwords to market your service.)
  • Search Engine Use - latest findings from the Pew Internet & Anerican Life Project (initially reported by Lexblog's Kevin O'Keefe.) Just under a half (49%) of Internet users use search in a typical day. (Up from roughly one-third in 2002.)
  • "Google is the New Resume" - actual title of this post is The Socialization of Your Personal Brand, and in it PR leader Brian Solis frames his analysis around one key characteristic of online search: "Truth be told, any search engine, whether social or traditional, is the resume – it’s the Wikipedia entry for the rest of us."
  • Unlearn What You Have Learned -  David Meerman Scott at EContentMag.com. This excellent piece on online marketing today was originally featured by Doug Cornelius at KM Space. Read both. Cornelius captured and quoted what you must know about search...

Stay tuned for more Friday fodder - links to recommended reading covering a range of strategic subjects. (One guess as to when we publish the feature?)

And if you'd like to recommend additional reading to do with search - please do so now by posting a comment.

Tagged: Five Blogs & Five Blawgers

File under: great timing. This morning, as I considered a quick post about "Influence" (linking to blogs or blog posts outside of the legal realm that nevertheless "influence my expertise"), Stem Legal's Steve Matthews tagged me to jump into the latest meme: 5 Blogs & 5 Blawgers.

The idea, if it isn't already clear to you: list five great non-legal blogs, then tag five blawgers to do the same.

Surprisingly willing to participate in the closest thing the blogosphere has to MLM, here's my list. Hope you enjoy it:

  • Junta42 Blog - ground zero for everything you need to know about content marketing. Evangelist Joe Pulizzi has built a rich clearinghouse of CM information at Junta42, and his blog is just tip of the iceberg.
  • Corante - "Corante blogs examine, through the eyes of leading observers, analysts, thinkers, and doers, critical themes and memes in technology, business, law, science, and culture." Excellent source for thought-provoking analysis of the current cultural landscape.
  • Webware - perhaps too predictable a choice, but CNET's Webware ("Cool Web Apps for Everyone")  is a daily source of news for me. And it is published as a blog. And it deserves to be listed. Enough said.
  • Copyblogger - tagline: "copywriting tips for online marketing success." Agreed. A reliable , consistently worthwhile source of "writing advice" for those interested in online marketing. Much of what I read here resonates with what I've learned over the years as a writer and editor.
  • Cha Dao - the fun entry. To say that I am a tea geek is an understatement. It's all about Chinese tea in our household - loose leaf oolongs and aged pu-erhs. Cha Dao, a collaborative blog (in which I sometimes participate), is one of the handful of ways I stay informed and learn. Esoteric? Sure. But where else can yours truly hold forth on Tea Moons, Mesostics, and Circle Poems

 

That's the list - catch me tomorrow and it might look a little different.

And now, apologies in advance to all five of them, the blawgers I've tagged to keep this going: Mike McBride, Nicole Black, Jordan Furlong, Michael Rice, and Kelly Phillips Erb (aka TaxGirl).

Increase Your Online Visibility (In One Easy Step)

Sexy title, but is it really possible to increase online visibility in one easy step?

Actually, yes, it is. Here's how: 

Repurpose. Share your daily written work online.

It's a common refrain around here. We were inspired to, ahem, repurpose it after reading a post at Allison Shields' excellent Legal Ease Blog - a blog that comes with the tagline: "Helping lawyers and law firm managers create more productive, profitable and enjoyable practices and prevent 'Lawyer Meltdown'."

Allison regularly publishes into the mix a Do Something! feature in which she offers practical advice to lawyers and firms centered around a single action. (For examples, see the entire category of posts, linked here.)

The recent entry that inspired us? Do Something! Repurpose:

...I'm willing to bet that you can find even more to repurpose (and save yourself time, effort and money in the process) that you hadn't thought about.

Marketing is a great place to repurpose, particularly with all of the new technology that's in place for marketing. Don't think you have time to blog, do seminars, write articles, network and follow up with individual clients by sending them information relevant to their business? If you're doing one of those things, chances are that you can repurpose what you're doing into at least two more, with minimal effort. In fact, you can repurpose your legal work into your marketing efforts as well. 

Allison's two examples (research for a specific case; conducting a seminar) hinge upon leveraging expertise to create marketing materials for a wider audience. (Turn your research into a case study; turn your seminar into an article; etc.) And this is exactly the point.

To repurpose is to leverage your strengths. 

You have expertise and authority in your field of practice. Your daily written work (articles, alerts, newsletters, legal documents, filings) is, again, the first example of this. Repurpose it - leverage it - publish it online. The alternative: use it once, then let it collect dust.

Publishing work that is then indexed by the search engines (our own, as well as Google, Yahoo!, Ask and, most recently, Lexis Search Advantage) - that's the first step towards increasing online visibility.

There are many other steps - proactive steps that are, themselves, additional types of online repurposing. They also happen to be some of the best reasons why today's online landscape is so incredibly exciting. Stay tuned over the coming weeks as we discuss them right here - discuss how to use them to reach a wider audience...
